On Sunday, Miami Dolphins fans were treated to a fifth straight loss, this time an embarrassing, 35-17 bore-fest with the hated New England Patriots. On Monday, Dolphins fans are being treated to a free Frosty. Seems like a fair trade, to be honest.
“Do you know kimchi? Do you know bulgogi? Do you know Gangnam Style? Do you know Psy?” The Korean pop star Psy himself raps those lyrics in a distorted deep voice on the song “Fact Assault,” a collaboration with G-Dragon. Psy, of course, became a viral phenomenon in 2012 with…
One. More. Win. That’s all the University of Miami Hurricanes football team needs to complete a perfect 11-0 regular season. If the Canes can stiff-arm and sidestep a seemingly inferior 4-5 Pittsburgh Panthers team on the road today, they’ll head into the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game…
He’s baaaaaaaaaaack. Sixteen years after he lost his bid to be reelected as Miami’s mayor, Crazy Joe Carollo is returning to 3500 Pan American Drive as a city commissioner. On Tuesday night, he squeaked out a narrow victory in a run-off against Alfie Leon, a former aide to his brother…
The Miami Hurricanes are 10-0. They’re locked into their first appearance in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game, where they’ll take on the Clemson Tigers at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium December 2. And if the Canes can win four more games in a row, they’ll be national champions for the sixth time.
Here lies the 2017 Miami Dolphins season, gone far too soon. It is likely to be survived by Adam Gase, a coach who refuses to shoulder any of the team’s losses; Mike Tannenbaum, a general manager you wouldn’t trust balancing your checkbook; and Stephen Ross, an owner who is good at building world-class things as long as they aren’t football organizations.
Joe Carollo was arrested in 2001 for hitting his wife so hard he left a golf-ball-size welt on her head. One of the then Miami mayor’s young daughters called 911 and begged, “Help, my dad is hurting my mom! Please come now, please!” as a woman’s screams were heard in the background. The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office eventually dropped domestic violence charges against Carollo because he agreed to attend anger-management courses.
The University of Miami Hurricanes are back on top of the college football world, and their return to dominance has, predictably, brought back the haters. A very wise man once said that with great power comes great responsibility. The responsibility that comes with kicking opponents’ asses every Saturday is that Miami must once again play the role of college football’s professional wrestling heel.
If the 2017 Miami Dolphins football team were a farm animal, it would be led out to pasture and excused from any kind of actual work. No one would disagree with the decision to gently retire it. The poor guy is clearly too injured and useless to help any longer.
If U didn’t already know, now U know: The Miami Hurricanes are the best football team in the nation, and when the College Football Playoff Selection Committee releases its latest playoff rankings later this week, the Canes should occupy the top spot. No more doubts. No more excuses. The Canes are due some respect, and the bill is far overdue.
The NCAA has no integrity. The cutthroat organization that oversees collegiate sports does everything possible to prevent student-athletes from making a living but nothing to stop scalpers from profiting off the young men who play at sold-out stadiums. Just look at the price gouging for tickets to this weekend’s game between the Miami Hurricanes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, which will be played at Hard Rock Stadium Saturday at 8 p.m. Saturday.
Just hours after President Donald Trump threatened war on North Korea, 3,000 people formed a huge human peace sign at Hialeah Gardens High School. The symbol wasn’t a protest, and Trump’s name never came up, but the message was unmistakeable: War is not something anyone wants.
Why is South Florida, the eighth largest radio market in the country not providing a listenable station anywhere on the FM dial? When was the last time anyone came to you and said, “Hey, I just heard the greatest set of music on W???-FM?” Never! It just doesn’t happen in…
After Saturday night’s 28-10 undressing of the No. 13 Virginia Tech Hokies, the Miami Hurricanes are officially back on the college football map. The huge win moved the Hurricanes up two slots in the AP rankings to No. 7 and kept them steady in the Coaches’ poll at No. 6. Right now,…
Coming off an embarrassing, nationally televised 40-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week, the Dolphins got a chance against the Oakland Raiders this past Sunday night to prove to the nation they’re actually not a bad football team.
Papa John’s founder John Schnatter claims he lost $70 million this week, at least partially due to the NFL controversy that centers on players kneeling during the National Anthem to protest racial injustice and inequality. “This should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago,” Schnatter said. “The [NFL] controversy is polarizing the customer, polarizing the country.”
The Miami Heat is about to make a huge, completely avoidable mistake, and it can all be fixed by reversing a decision that doesn’t even go into effect next season. There is still time to keep coach Tony Fiorentino on the team’s broadcast in 2018.
On last night’s nationally televised Thursday Night Football, the rest of America got a taste of what Miami Dolphins fans routinely deal with on a weekly basis. The Dolphins’ embarrassing 40-0 beatdown at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens this past Thursday was just the latest episode of what has been a season of some of the most disgusting offensive football the franchise has ever seen.
Jay Cutler is done playing for the Miami Dolphins. Well, he’s done for at least a couple weeks after fracturing multiple ribs against the Jets this past weekend. But Cutler should be done playing for the Dolphins, period. Full stop. Like, it should never, ever happen again. What is the point, really?
There was a bright light, and her name was Frederica Wilson, the very same congressperson whom President Donald Trump called a liar this morning because she claimed he had told the widow of a soldier recently killed in an ambush in Niger that her husband “knew what he signed up for.” (Trump’s hundreds of lies have been catalogued by the New York Times.)
In the words of the Miami Heat’s legendary TV host and courtside reporter, Jason Jackson: It’s time to ball, y’all. Miami will kick off its much-anticipated 2017-18 campaign tonight in Orlando when the Heat faces the Magic at 7 p.m.
Colin Kaepernick’s grievance threatens to expose the plantation mentality of the NFL team owners. They have banded together to blackball the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback because of the player protests he began during the National Anthem to raise awareness of this country’s oppression of minorities, especially African-Americans, who are recklessly killed by police officers.
